Has anyone bought the instructions for this? Can't decide if it's worth paying for

I've got a Chiron in a sealed shipping box. Debating whether to just build the thing or sit on it for years..
It's currently in my unopened collection of wasted money:
Bucket Wheel Excavator, Mack truck, MB Arocs, Porsche, Firehouse, Saturn V and the original Death Star. I'm sure there's something I'm missing as well.

Well it finally happened...
Almost 2 years after building it and promising if we couldn't find space to display it I'd dismantle it again I finally got around to breaking the Falcon back down... it didn't take as long as I thought it would but was still a bit of an ordeal - my fingers are so sore; and as a guitarist of almost 20 years that takes some doing! (yes I used the lego tool thing, and it helps a lot but not completely)
On the plus side it means I get the fun of building it again someday (when we hopefully have a lounge with enough space for a coffee table to display it in) but it's going to be the toughest build I've ever done with all the pieces mixed and not in their original numbered bags

Numbered bags are cheating anyway
For the chiron im doing 2 bags at a time only. Its too much risk to get to the end with a technic set to find you missed a bit at step. 1!
I mixed. Lots of bags with the falcon and eventually it did feel Like a chore
Talking of Falcons.. Was out in my garage looking for some old retro computing stuff and found this..
Forgot I had it! Niece and nephew got it for my birthday some 6/7 years ago, thought it about time I put it together.
Amazing that lot ended up looking like this.. magic of Lego
Lot easier finding somewhere to display this size that's for sure!

Managed to nab the oranges porsche 911 gt3 second hand.
150 so not bad for current prices
Didn't want to Miss it as prices are. Already going up.
May end Up with chiron on one side of the TV, the porsche on the other!

Finished off the larger of the Cada tanks which was quite a fun build, it's my lads fav technic model so far but I think that's probably due to the fact that it fires bullets via remote control (5 separate motors in this one).
Compared to the earlier smaller tank
Also tried to tidy up the loft space but realised I need either a larger wall or more shelves.

And with the massive new Leibherr excavator out later this year which will certainly fill most of a corner...

Aye, We have the excavator stashed away in the left corner there and still the new mobile crane to build which is meant to be a fair size, all becoming a bit of a squeeze.

Think he was referring to this excavator rather than the bucket wheel:

Yep has seen that, looks impressive. Was just agreeing that I need more space as the old excavator already takes up a corner so god knows where that could go.
